The rumdr of last week in regard to the re- moval of Geh.'RcucAifs are fully confirmed. That gen tTfeWan is no loader at the Lead of the itruvyef the Cumberland. This dismissal, although determined npon- tefore the late elections, was not coneuiumated or announced until those elections took place the Administration being fearful ot the consequences. As to the truth of the charges preferred against Gen. Kosecrans, we are unprepared to express an opinion. We publish below what is said on the subject by two of the special organs of the Administration. The nrashington Chronicle, edited by John TV. Forney, tuf official organ of the Secretary of War, in a double- leaded editorial in its issue of the 23d, eays : ; We are io receipt of astonishing intelli- ' gence in regard to the removal of Geo. Rose-crans. The whoie country will be stirred at what we shall chronicle. It is rumored that three charges are made tgain6t this late popu-8ar commander. The first charge is preferred " 5v Generals Crittenden and McCook, to the effect that Roeecrana left the battle-field during the crisis and fled to Chattanooga and re- jjorted to officeife there that the day was lwtri Itwaa reported that subsequently, through tbe use of opium, he became insensible; The second charge, it is rumored, is made 'by'the Government to the effect that his orders were to remain at Chattanooga until rem forcement .should arrive. The third charge, as is rumored, is to the effect that he declined to move 1roin Murfreesboro in June last, when ordered to do so by ' Government, aa an opportunity was offered to crush Bragg, a large portion of , his army having been withdrawn to succor Jbhnion, who was operating against Grant. If these charges are tnie, it is mont unfortunate, a the nxnie of llosecrans w;is a talisman of immense weight. The New 'otk papers make die sweeping accuuiou that during the battle of Chickamaiiga Generals Rosecrnhf. Crittenden a nl McCook were asleep at Cl.fit-lanooga. We learn, semi-oflicially, that in regard to Gen. Crittenden, this statement is fatae, and that nothing has warranted thex irculation of such a paragraph. The blame it is said, connect?! with the failure at CliickauiNuga, ' wiJl rest wholly upon Rosecrans."

Jones commenced suit against the Secretary for false imprisonment in the Supreme Court of New York for the district in which the city of New York ie located. The Secretary, on the 19th instant, moved to transfer the ac tion of tbe United Slates Circuit Court, under the act of Congress of Ifarch 3d, 1863, enti tled " An act relating to habeas corpus, mi regulating judicial proceedings in certain cases." The motion was denied by Judge Clerk e, on the ground that the act was unconstitutional The opinion delivered by the Judge was a com - plete expose of the sophistry upon which the ad-ministrationists have relied to justify this outra geous law. We shall now see what means will be taken to remove the case to tbe Ur ted States Circuit Court. There have l e n some three thousand eases of arbitrary e;- rests in the Northom States eince the com mencement of the rebellion The victims o this tyranny have not forgotten their suffer ings or foregone hope of redress. Those 'who have been "touching bells on the right hand and left," and imprisoning men by telegraph ic order, may yet learn that their musical ex ercises have been extensive. If they do not prove expensive, the country will experi ence the truth of Mr. Webster's apothegm, that "Whatever government is not a govern ment of laws is a despotism, let it be called what it may." . t.T it jj, r rr. . To Political Preacheri. Let us commend to the prayerful consideration of Political Preachers, the following opinions of Dr. Adam Clarke, whose "Commentaries" are standard authority in the Methodist Ei.copal Church r Political preacher?, neither convert souls nor build up believer? on t lie r 'most holy fUith. One may pique himself on bis loyalty, the other on his lilerality anl popular notions of government; but, in eight of tiie great fiend uf t lie Church, the first in a sounding braia and the isecond a tinkling cymbal. When preachers of the gospel become parties in party . pfditicn, religion mourns, the church is uneditie-l, and political dispute agitate even the faithful of the land. iSuch preachers, no matter which side they take, are no longer messenger of glad tidings, but the seedsmen of con fusion and wasters' of the heritage of Christ. And the views of a laymart as distinguisheii as Edmuxu Bckke should also pos.-.e68 .-.oine influence: .. -rljl'il,l,;'.' temcnw . , utf wht to le heard in the church but the healirg voice of Chris tian cliantv. the cause ot civil liberty and civil government eains as little as that of re ligion ty this contusion of duties. Those who quit their proper character to assume hat doe? not belong to them are, for the greater part, ignorant both of the character tuey leave, and of the character they iwume. WhoThr unacquainted with the world in hich they are so lund of meldling. and in experienced in all its affairs, on which thev pronounce with ao much confidence, they have nothing of politics but the pose ions they excite. Who i the True Patriot. The National Intelligencer thufc answers this question, in words that should be engraven on the heart of every American ciiize.i and'every American youth: " The true patriot' is he who as keenly re sents an attack on the Constitution as on the integrity or unity of the national territory. For the Constitution is to the country what the informing spirit is to the body it animates and vitalizes. No man can be loyal to the country, or to the Government without being loyal to the Constitution, by which 'the country is made an organic bod v politic; bv which the Government' becomes the 'constituted au thority' of the land, and by which 'the . Ad ministration:' is made the depository of tbe na tion's power, and the executor of the nation's will, so far as the one is granted, and the other expressed, under the limitations of that great cnarter." The Retort Categorical. An Indiana Administration paper, which invented the false statement that Hon. D. W. Voorheee had been enpiged in 44 coloniting" voters into Ohio, received a letter from that gen tleman plum ply pronouncing him. a "liar," and driving home the epithet with the follow ing sentences : i presume you win not conewer my remarks as at all offensive, inasmnch as yon testified before the grand jury of Sullivan county that yon were somewhat in the habit of publishing lies for political effect in your paper. You can safely go before any magistrate and swear that yon have done so in this instance, and that you knew you were lyingat lhenime. " "Why the Draft Has Failed ? ; .That is ifis question. An Administration co-temporary gives what he regards as the true explanation, as follows : " -. The War - Department appointed Professor Leiber to frame a list of ranges for ememption for the government of examinina-ffoerts. The learned professor exercieed his profound re- nearrh to discover diseases, ailments and illaJ that flesh is heir to. ihat would form pretexts for. framing certificates of exemption.

The nnmber of lighting men called out from, the Noi them or " loyal States0 aader the Ad-tnin'wtratioa of President LincoLNr may be briefly summed np as follows: By proclamation April 15, 1861........ 75,000 " May 3, " .. 05,000 " Act of Congress July 22.

The men, who have gone into the service under these several calls, constitute, or did constitute the flower of the co'untry men in the first promise, or in tLe prime of a well developed and glorious manhood. But a large portion of those who have gone into the field in obedience to these re. peated cnlhj how large a portion no one can tell have been lost to their friends, the country and tbe world forever. And for what has this great waste of life been made? Echo answers, For what ? Are we to have a restored Union, and the return of order, peace and harmony, as of old? There is, under the present radical policy that conducts the war, no prospect of this, but of Disunion, anarchy and interminable war and bloodshed instead. That policy is to overran territory, exterminate the white inhabitants, but not to restore a single foot of soil to the U nion we had before the war. Nothing has been really accomplished in that uirection by all the waste of human life that has already been made, and nothing will be by the unscrupulous Disunion radical party now in power.

The kind of. literature whkh these holy men "roll aa a sweet tadrsel nader their toogue," ie manifested ia the following extract from what was seen and beard by the reporter of the Cincinnati Commercial : ' "Chaplain Gaddia said, at th commencement ot hia speech, that even preachers might get mad ander certain circumetaifeesY: lie; illustrated this by narrating the-following: At Camp Meeting once an old jlreiher was detailed to bring sinners to the aHar'of repentance by sounding a horn. Daring temporary absence from his post of duty, ant uhregeoem-ted persou filled the horn with -aoft coap. When the brother came back to resume the vocation of Gabriel, he discovered the trick that had been played upon himaaid be "I have been a member of the church ' for forty-! five years and a minister of th 6ospel for thirty-five. I have never sworn n path in my life, but damn me if I don't whiptlie man that soaped my horn." Pretty toonha altar was crowded with mourners, and tha aptrit'-a influence was manifesting itself very aaiwfaetori-ly except tljat one heart seemed Very stubborn. The proprietor ot the horn approached this obdurate case and aeked him how, he felt. The toor sinner coulttn't feet hisfsins forgiven and he knew there was no use ia his petittou-ing the throne of grace. He bd committed an unpardonable sin he said. . ' Ah,.' said the preacher-, 'the blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin.' . : "All, except the one I've oommitted aaid the sinner. 'What can it be brother ia ti murder, arson, raje or adultery?' i, . 'Worse than that,' sobeJ tU u neon verted one. ' '" - The minister looked at his stony-hearted subject a moment, and then suiting the action to the word, said "Will some brother hold my coat? Here is the damned rascal that soaped my horn." The preacher whipped the sinner, who soon after receiving the punishment, became thoroughly converted. An Apt ''lnstr&tlnL We find in one of our exchanges the following little anecdote : " One day last Week a teamfter backed his horse into the river, and by tying a rope around his neck; succeeded in saving him from drowning, but choked him to death." The Administration has hoerowed a very unfortunate hint from this, and similar antto-ry experiment. It adopts in its broadent,; its most unlimited sense, the adage, " The safety of the Repufdic, in the Supreme Law," and ia proceeding with most fatal zeal to jane it. oy destroying in detail, every element ot that free government, which constitute- a Republic.

GENERA 17 B LAIR'S 11EPLI " Te Be)re3sit4atl v Dlew. ' . Coanrra, Miss Oetoses 1$, fuS. To the editor cf the St. LosU Daily Uaioai Mr. Blow thinks that I have capped the climax of audacity by the manner in which I have spoken of Mr. Chase, the Secretary of the Treasnry. 1 am unconscious of any unusual boldness or audacity in apeaking ray Opinion of him. Mr. Blow seems to be inspired with a kind of awe as he approaches that august figure enthroned upon greenbacks. Men who possess as much . patronage as Mr. Chase seldom find themselves without followers, ready to shower Uon their heads as much eulogy as Mr. Blow has been able to scrape together. Mr. Chase has purchased a printing-press awl made as many greenbacks as were authorized by Congress, and the soldiers and the people have received them because they have faith in there-establishment oft he Union and the solvency f the Government, a faith founded upon the valor of our troops, the inexhaustible resources of our country, ami the unconquerable energies of the American people, and not at all on Mr. Chase's priotiug-press.I know Mr. Chase tolerably well. With very great ability, and all the good looks, polished manners and gentlemanly bearing that Mr. Blow claims for him, be is thoroughly selfisih and narrow as any public man in the country. . He was a candidate for" the Presidency before the last Chicago Convention. The Ohio delegation was divided between him and old Ben Wade. . Wade's friends supported Chase until all hope of his being nominated vanished. It was then be'ieved ihat if Chase would permit his friends from Ohio to vote for Wade, so as to give him the entire State, he could get votes enough to secure his nomination. It wa refused on the ground that Wade was from Ohio, and that if he was nominated his successor could not well be taken from the same State, and as Mr. Chase was from Ohio, this would he an obstacle in his way." This one act il Inst rates the character of the Secretary of the Treasury. When the relellion broke out,. Mr. Chase held this, language: " The South is not worth lighting for." Several gentlemen of high posi tion in the country beant him utter tins sentiment, substantially. He was at that time Secretary of the Treasury. Jeff Davis exclaimed, as .he left the Senate, "All the South wants is to l let alone :" and Mr. Secretary Chase was. in effect, declaring. "The South is not worth fighting- for." Jeff Davis said, " Let i . aone . j.-. ' Chase said. " Let them alone. fl'evwnce between them, in fact, ahhough cir motives are wite apart, was the differ-e litween tweedledum anil -tweedledee.- rmmilml-m Seat hrn tt4he ot her a Nort h em Confederacy, each believing his own Chance? Iet in that sort of a division. The'scheme for annihilating the Southern States, and reducing them to territories, bad its origin with Mr. Chase, ami grew out of the same sentiment. He was determined that, if the North woul l not submit to have the terii-tories of tbe Republic curtailed, the Mississippi river cut in two, and two hostile nations established to make perpetual wir upon each other at any rate, the Southern States shoultl be deprived of their electoral votes, which he wan satisfied woubLiiot lecast for him'. Hence this schemefoT punishing the States for the treason committed by their inhabitants was devised. This plan was gravely submitted to Congress by a gentleman known to hold confidential relations with Mr. Chase, and was drafted by Mr. Chase himself. It was known that the filan was in opposition to tbe views of the President, but his Calunet officer was found to retain his office while concocting schemes to overthrow the policy of the A iministra tion nnder which he held office. How are such transactions ordinarily regarded J This is only in keeping with Mr. Chase's persistent effort to make use of the slavery question in such a way as to nvake a division among the Union men of the country, and create a distrust of the President among the extreme radical anti-slavery men. heeanse he. for the very safetv of the Government itself, waa and ia compelled to recognise and confide in all Union men alike, regardless of their opinions of slavery. To intrigue against the President nnder whom he held position, has been : the constant employment of Secretary Chase. Tlie President, unlike Mr. Chase, prefers that he should intrigue against him personally rather than embarrass the Government. This is my explana tion. . Is it a eapposable ease that such a man as the Secretary,o the Treasury would omit an opportunity of enlarging his electioneering ma-chmry by the appointment of a whole army of agents, deputies, aids and boards of trade on the banks of the Mississippi, especially if by any possibility he could throw the odium of such a step upon General Grant, and profit by tbe power and patronage such a measure over the business ot the whole North-west ? I knew that Ihe4nstant he-was assailed for keeping up tbe blockade of the Mississippi River, be would cover himself behind tbe mil itary authorities, and Mr. Blow's speech justi fies my anticipations, whilst it clearly falsifies the Secretary's pretext. The letter of General Grant, quoted by Mr. Blow, does not justify a single step taken by Mr. Chase. On the contrary, Mr, Chase's meawnres are at complete variance with and in defiance of the advice given by Gen. Grant. General Grant is for tree trade or tio tratle at all. : Mr. Chase is for restricted trade trade that will be entirely in tbe hands of his agents, and will 'enable him to emplov a small army of his strikers, with "restrictions" which, as General Grant says.

" I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,-. U. S. GRANT. Major General." Mr. Blow quotes this letter furnished by the Secretary to whom it is addressed, for the pur pose ot throwing tbe odium ot his own policy on General Grant, and then Mr. Blow exclaims, "so says General Grant and so says your Secretary ot the Treasury." We shall see. Uenerai urat save, ' no matter what the restrictions thrown around trade, if. any whatever is allowed, it will be made the means of supplying' the enemy.". Secretary Chase therefore inakes a lot of . regiilatons, and throws restrictions around trade, although General Grant save, "it will be made the means of supplying the enemy." .;' Is this doing what General Grant asks ?

You will observe that General Orant refers particularly to his "experience in Weft Tennessee'' among Chase's agents. He knows them well and so does every officer in the army. - Since my ignorance of this subject has been made a matter of rehuke by Mr. Blow, 1 trufi that I may be permitted modestly to refer t the letter which I had the ' pret-umpiion to write to the PresMent." and joint to the identi-tv. of sentiment between it and that of General Grant. The oulv ditference is. that of a few months" of the time ia which free trale shonld be opened. ; The paragraph with which Mr." Blow introduces the letter of General Grant (alove quoted) is worthy of leing put on record at this point of the diecusxion. Here it is: " But, fellow -citizens. I do . not intend to leave this persecution here.. General Blair is under the command of a War Democrat, and we love War Democrats. . His superior fficer is that gallant, successful ami truthful General, who has made our arras illustrious by hia wisdom and hi-rn lor. and wherever this night in this wide ex-tendei couiitrr a loyal heart' is leating with priil for Wwterii nuccrwu. the name of ClyssesS. Grant is embalmed in that h ear till ear what he say and spread it through the loyal States of the Union." Would any one believe that Oeneral Grant (that glorious War Democrat so leeply loved by Mr. Blow) has at this moment in hia poa session a letter, asking for his removal from the head of the army of the Tennessee, upon information furnished and vouched for by Henry T. Blow in which that " War Derno crat" is chargel with the grossest improprieties, which I will not name, but which.-having served under his command, I know to le false, although vouched lor by Mr. Blow. Mr. Blow following in the wake of the Missouri Democrat,' has something to ea atout sacrificing "the liest interests of the country for a few bales of cotton," meaning thereby what the Democrat has said more bluntly, that that the merchants of St. Louis, who wish the Mississi'iioi River Opened o trade, are wil ling tosiell the Government for cotton. Since when haa it become ao ignominious for mer chants to engage in the cotton trade t One of the proprietors of the Missouri Democrat, a cer tain Th -mas O'Reilly, who was alo an agent of the Secretary of the Treasury, did eOnnive at and procure the release of cotton seizol in Helena bv the Government, and did. receive therefor $8,000 in monev and promiaory-notes.

The rumdr of last week in regard to the re- moval of Geh.'RcucAifs are fully confirmed. That gen tTfeWan is no loader at the Lead of the itruvyef the Cumberland. This dismissal, although determined npon- tefore the late elections, was not coneuiumated or announced until those elections took place the Administration being fearful ot the consequences. As to the truth of the charges preferred against Gen. Kosecrans, we are unprepared to express an opinion. We publish below what is said on the subject by two of the special organs of the Administration. The nrashington Chronicle, edited by John TV. Forney, tuf official organ of the Secretary of War, in a double- leaded editorial in its issue of the 23d, eays : ; We are io receipt of astonishing intelli- ' gence in regard to the removal of Geo. Rose-crans. The whoie country will be stirred at what we shall chronicle. It is rumored that three charges are made tgain6t this late popu-8ar commander. The first charge is preferred " 5v Generals Crittenden and McCook, to the effect that Roeecrana left the battle-field during the crisis and fled to Chattanooga and re- jjorted to officeife there that the day was lwtri Itwaa reported that subsequently, through tbe use of opium, he became insensible; The second charge, it is rumored, is made 'by'the Government to the effect that his orders were to remain at Chattanooga until rem forcement .should arrive. The third charge, as is rumored, is to the effect that he declined to move 1roin Murfreesboro in June last, when ordered to do so by ' Government, aa an opportunity was offered to crush Bragg, a large portion of , his army having been withdrawn to succor Jbhnion, who was operating against Grant. If these charges are tnie, it is mont unfortunate, a the nxnie of llosecrans w;is a talisman of immense weight. The New 'otk papers make die sweeping accuuiou that during the battle of Chickamaiiga Generals Rosecrnhf. Crittenden a nl McCook were asleep at Cl.fit-lanooga. We learn, semi-oflicially, that in regard to Gen. Crittenden, this statement is fatae, and that nothing has warranted thex irculation of such a paragraph. The blame it is said, connect?! with the failure at CliickauiNuga, ' wiJl rest wholly upon Rosecrans."

Jones commenced suit against the Secretary for false imprisonment in the Supreme Court of New York for the district in which the city of New York ie located. The Secretary, on the 19th instant, moved to transfer the ac tion of tbe United Slates Circuit Court, under the act of Congress of Ifarch 3d, 1863, enti tled " An act relating to habeas corpus, mi regulating judicial proceedings in certain cases." The motion was denied by Judge Clerk e, on the ground that the act was unconstitutional The opinion delivered by the Judge was a com - plete expose of the sophistry upon which the ad-ministrationists have relied to justify this outra geous law. We shall now see what means will be taken to remove the case to tbe Ur ted States Circuit Court. There have l e n some three thousand eases of arbitrary e;- rests in the Northom States eince the com mencement of the rebellion The victims o this tyranny have not forgotten their suffer ings or foregone hope of redress. Those 'who have been "touching bells on the right hand and left," and imprisoning men by telegraph ic order, may yet learn that their musical ex ercises have been extensive. If they do not prove expensive, the country will experi ence the truth of Mr. Webster's apothegm, that "Whatever government is not a govern ment of laws is a despotism, let it be called what it may." . t.T it jj, r rr. . To Political Preacheri. Let us commend to the prayerful consideration of Political Preachers, the following opinions of Dr. Adam Clarke, whose "Commentaries" are standard authority in the Methodist Ei.copal Church r Political preacher?, neither convert souls nor build up believer? on t lie r 'most holy fUith. One may pique himself on bis loyalty, the other on his lilerality anl popular notions of government; but, in eight of tiie great fiend uf t lie Church, the first in a sounding braia and the isecond a tinkling cymbal. When preachers of the gospel become parties in party . pfditicn, religion mourns, the church is uneditie-l, and political dispute agitate even the faithful of the land. iSuch preachers, no matter which side they take, are no longer messenger of glad tidings, but the seedsmen of con fusion and wasters' of the heritage of Christ. And the views of a laymart as distinguisheii as Edmuxu Bckke should also pos.-.e68 .-.oine influence: .. -rljl'il,l,;'.' temcnw . , utf wht to le heard in the church but the healirg voice of Chris tian cliantv. the cause ot civil liberty and civil government eains as little as that of re ligion ty this contusion of duties. Those who quit their proper character to assume hat doe? not belong to them are, for the greater part, ignorant both of the character tuey leave, and of the character they iwume. WhoThr unacquainted with the world in hich they are so lund of meldling. and in experienced in all its affairs, on which thev pronounce with ao much confidence, they have nothing of politics but the pose ions they excite. Who i the True Patriot. The National Intelligencer thufc answers this question, in words that should be engraven on the heart of every American ciiize.i and'every American youth: " The true patriot' is he who as keenly re sents an attack on the Constitution as on the integrity or unity of the national territory. For the Constitution is to the country what the informing spirit is to the body it animates and vitalizes. No man can be loyal to the country, or to the Government without being loyal to the Constitution, by which 'the country is made an organic bod v politic; bv which the Government' becomes the 'constituted au thority' of the land, and by which 'the . Ad ministration:' is made the depository of tbe na tion's power, and the executor of the nation's will, so far as the one is granted, and the other expressed, under the limitations of that great cnarter." The Retort Categorical. An Indiana Administration paper, which invented the false statement that Hon. D. W. Voorheee had been enpiged in 44 coloniting" voters into Ohio, received a letter from that gen tleman plum ply pronouncing him. a "liar," and driving home the epithet with the follow ing sentences : i presume you win not conewer my remarks as at all offensive, inasmnch as yon testified before the grand jury of Sullivan county that yon were somewhat in the habit of publishing lies for political effect in your paper. You can safely go before any magistrate and swear that yon have done so in this instance, and that you knew you were lyingat lhenime. " "Why the Draft Has Failed ? ; .That is ifis question. An Administration co-temporary gives what he regards as the true explanation, as follows : " -. The War - Department appointed Professor Leiber to frame a list of ranges for ememption for the government of examinina-ffoerts. The learned professor exercieed his profound re- nearrh to discover diseases, ailments and illaJ that flesh is heir to. ihat would form pretexts for. framing certificates of exemption.

The nnmber of lighting men called out from, the Noi them or " loyal States0 aader the Ad-tnin'wtratioa of President LincoLNr may be briefly summed np as follows: By proclamation April 15, 1861........ 75,000 " May 3, " .. 05,000 " Act of Congress July 22. " ....... 500,000 ....... .. 25, " ....... 25,000 Proclamation " 1, 18C2........ 300.000 Ang. 9, " 300,000 " Order July, 1863............. 300,000 " Proclamation Oct. 17, 18G3 ........ 300,000 1,865,000 Thua, (remarks the Statesman,) nearly two millions of men have been called out, making a number equal to about to about two-thirds the total vote cast in 1800 for President in the Northern or free States. The men, who have gone into the service under these several calls, constitute, or did constitute the flower of the co'untry men in the first promise, or in tLe prime of a well developed and glorious manhood. But a large portion of those who have gone into the field in obedience to these re. peated cnlhj how large a portion no one can tell have been lost to their friends, the country and tbe world forever. And for what has this great waste of life been made? Echo answers, For what ? Are we to have a restored Union, and the return of order, peace and harmony, as of old? There is, under the present radical policy that conducts the war, no prospect of this, but of Disunion, anarchy and interminable war and bloodshed instead. That policy is to overran territory, exterminate the white inhabitants, but not to restore a single foot of soil to the U nion we had before the war. Nothing has been really accomplished in that uirection by all the waste of human life that has already been made, and nothing will be by the unscrupulous Disunion radical party now in power.

Daring temporary absence from his post of duty, ant uhregeoem-ted persou filled the horn with -aoft coap. When the brother came back to resume the vocation of Gabriel, he discovered the trick that had been played upon himaaid be "I have been a member of the church ' for forty-! five years and a minister of th 6ospel for thirty-five. I have never sworn n path in my life, but damn me if I don't whiptlie man that soaped my horn." Pretty toonha altar was crowded with mourners, and tha aptrit'-a influence was manifesting itself very aaiwfaetori-ly except tljat one heart seemed Very stubborn. The proprietor ot the horn approached this obdurate case and aeked him how, he felt. The toor sinner coulttn't feet hisfsins forgiven and he knew there was no use ia his petittou-ing the throne of grace. He bd committed an unpardonable sin he said. . ' Ah,.' said the preacher-, 'the blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin.' . : "All, except the one I've oommitted aaid the sinner. 'What can it be brother ia ti murder, arson, raje or adultery?' i, . 'Worse than that,' sobeJ tU u neon verted one. ' '" - The minister looked at his stony-hearted subject a moment, and then suiting the action to the word, said "Will some brother hold my coat? Here is the damned rascal that soaped my horn." The preacher whipped the sinner, who soon after receiving the punishment, became thoroughly converted. An Apt ''lnstr&tlnL We find in one of our exchanges the following little anecdote : " One day last Week a teamfter backed his horse into the river, and by tying a rope around his neck; succeeded in saving him from drowning, but choked him to death."

GENERA 17 B LAIR'S 11EPLI " Te Be)re3sit4atl v Dlew. ' . Coanrra, Miss Oetoses 1$, fuS. To the editor cf the St. LosU Daily Uaioai Mr. Blow thinks that I have capped the climax of audacity by the manner in which I have spoken of Mr. Chase, the Secretary of the Treasnry. 1 am unconscious of any unusual boldness or audacity in apeaking ray Opinion of him. Mr. Blow seems to be inspired with a kind of awe as he approaches that august figure enthroned upon greenbacks. Men who possess as much . patronage as Mr. Chase seldom find themselves without followers, ready to shower Uon their heads as much eulogy as Mr. Blow has been able to scrape together. Mr. Chase has purchased a printing-press awl made as many greenbacks as were authorized by Congress, and the soldiers and the people have received them because they have faith in there-establishment oft he Union and the solvency f the Government, a faith founded upon the valor of our troops, the inexhaustible resources of our country, ami the unconquerable energies of the American people, and not at all on Mr. Chase's priotiug-press.I know Mr. Chase tolerably well. With very great ability, and all the good looks, polished manners and gentlemanly bearing that Mr. Blow claims for him, be is thoroughly selfisih and narrow as any public man in the country. . He was a candidate for" the Presidency before the last Chicago Convention. The Ohio delegation was divided between him and old Ben Wade. . Wade's friends supported Chase until all hope of his being nominated vanished. It was then be'ieved ihat if Chase would permit his friends from Ohio to vote for Wade, so as to give him the entire State, he could get votes enough to secure his nomination. It wa refused on the ground that Wade was from Ohio, and that if he was nominated his successor could not well be taken from the same State, and as Mr. Chase was from Ohio, this would he an obstacle in his way." This one act il Inst rates the character of the Secretary of the Treasury. When the relellion broke out,. Mr. Chase held this, language: " The South is not worth lighting for." Several gentlemen of high posi tion in the country beant him utter tins sentiment, substantially. He was at that time Secretary of the Treasury. Jeff Davis exclaimed, as .he left the Senate, "All the South wants is to l let alone :" and Mr. Secretary Chase was. in effect, declaring. "The South is not worth fighting- for." Jeff Davis said, " Let i . aone . j.-. ' Chase said. " Let them alone. fl'evwnce between them, in fact, ahhough cir motives are wite apart, was the differ-e litween tweedledum anil -tweedledee.- rmmilml-m Seat hrn tt4he ot her a Nort h em Confederacy, each believing his own Chance? Iet in that sort of a division. The'scheme for annihilating the Southern States, and reducing them to territories, bad its origin with Mr. Chase, ami grew out of the same sentiment. He was determined that, if the North woul l not submit to have the terii-tories of tbe Republic curtailed, the Mississippi river cut in two, and two hostile nations established to make perpetual wir upon each other at any rate, the Southern States shoultl be deprived of their electoral votes, which he wan satisfied woubLiiot lecast for him'. Hence this schemefoT punishing the States for the treason committed by their inhabitants was devised. This plan was gravely submitted to Congress by a gentleman known to hold confidential relations with Mr. Chase, and was drafted by Mr. Chase himself. It was known that the filan was in opposition to tbe views of the President, but his Calunet officer was found to retain his office while concocting schemes to overthrow the policy of the A iministra tion nnder which he held office. How are such transactions ordinarily regarded J This is only in keeping with Mr. Chase's persistent effort to make use of the slavery question in such a way as to nvake a division among the Union men of the country, and create a distrust of the President among the extreme radical anti-slavery men. heeanse he. for the very safetv of the Government itself, waa and ia compelled to recognise and confide in all Union men alike, regardless of their opinions of slavery. To intrigue against the President nnder whom he held position, has been : the constant employment of Secretary Chase. Tlie President, unlike Mr. Chase, prefers that he should intrigue against him personally rather than embarrass the Government. This is my explana tion. . Is it a eapposable ease that such a man as the Secretary,o the Treasury would omit an opportunity of enlarging his electioneering ma-chmry by the appointment of a whole army of agents, deputies, aids and boards of trade on the banks of the Mississippi, especially if by any possibility he could throw the odium of such a step upon General Grant, and profit by tbe power and patronage such a measure over the business ot the whole North-west ? I knew that Ihe4nstant he-was assailed for keeping up tbe blockade of the Mississippi River, be would cover himself behind tbe mil itary authorities, and Mr. Blow's speech justi fies my anticipations, whilst it clearly falsifies the Secretary's pretext. The letter of General Grant, quoted by Mr. Blow, does not justify a single step taken by Mr. Chase. On the contrary, Mr, Chase's meawnres are at complete variance with and in defiance of the advice given by Gen. Grant. General Grant is for tree trade or tio tratle at all. : Mr. Chase is for restricted trade trade that will be entirely in tbe hands of his agents, and will 'enable him to emplov a small army of his strikers, with "restrictions" which, as General Grant says. " if lived np to. make trade unprofita-de, and hence none but disboneet mtm wonU go into it." ; :; . ',: -:..:. ::: -- ;T L note.

Mr. Blow quotes this letter furnished by the Secretary to whom it is addressed, for the pur pose ot throwing tbe odium ot his own policy on General Grant, and then Mr. Blow exclaims, "so says General Grant and so says your Secretary ot the Treasury." We shall see. Uenerai urat save, ' no matter what the restrictions thrown around trade, if. any whatever is allowed, it will be made the means of supplying' the enemy.". Secretary Chase therefore inakes a lot of . regiilatons, and throws restrictions around trade, although General Grant save, "it will be made the means of supplying the enemy." .;' Is this doing what General Grant asks ?

You will observe that General Orant refers particularly to his "experience in Weft Tennessee'' among Chase's agents. He knows them well and so does every officer in the army. - Since my ignorance of this subject has been made a matter of rehuke by Mr. Blow, 1 trufi that I may be permitted modestly to refer t the letter which I had the ' pret-umpiion to write to the PresMent." and joint to the identi-tv. of sentiment between it and that of General Grant. The oulv ditference is. that of a few months" of the time ia which free trale shonld be opened. ; The paragraph with which Mr." Blow introduces the letter of General Grant (alove quoted) is worthy of leing put on record at this point of the diecusxion. Here it is: " But, fellow -citizens. I do . not intend to leave this persecution here.. General Blair is under the command of a War Democrat, and we love War Democrats. . His superior fficer is that gallant, successful ami truthful General, who has made our arras illustrious by hia wisdom and hi-rn lor. and wherever this night in this wide ex-tendei couiitrr a loyal heart' is leating with priil for Wwterii nuccrwu. the name of ClyssesS. Grant is embalmed in that h ear till ear what he say and spread it through the loyal States of the Union." Would any one believe that Oeneral Grant (that glorious War Democrat so leeply loved by Mr. Blow) has at this moment in hia poa session a letter, asking for his removal from the head of the army of the Tennessee, upon information furnished and vouched for by Henry T. Blow in which that " War Derno crat" is chargel with the grossest improprieties, which I will not name, but which.-having served under his command, I know to le false, although vouched lor by Mr. Blow. Mr. Blow following in the wake of the Missouri Democrat,' has something to ea atout sacrificing "the liest interests of the country for a few bales of cotton," meaning thereby what the Democrat has said more bluntly, that that the merchants of St. Louis, who wish the Mississi'iioi River Opened o trade, are wil ling tosiell the Government for cotton. Since when haa it become ao ignominious for mer chants to engage in the cotton trade t One of the proprietors of the Missouri Democrat, a cer tain Th -mas O'Reilly, who was alo an agent of the Secretary of the Treasury, did eOnnive at and procure the release of cotton seizol in Helena bv the Government, and did. receive therefor $8,000 in monev and promiaory-notes. (Full particulars of this transaction can be found in the testimony taken before Genern I McDowell's frauds.)
